Nope, and it won't until someone who wants it puts the time into
writing it (and I can say, without a shred of doubt, that it means
little to me, one way or the other, so it's not likely to be me who
writes it).

Write a module, call it something descriptive, like (posix termios),
and put it in /usr/local/share/guile/site/posix/termios.scm

Dunno... this that thing with the alpha glibc's? That is, or rather
was, a glibc bug, apparently the latest versions don't have this
problem.
